Content Search: Find Anything in Your Catalogue Instantly

Search Is Where Viewing Sessions Begin

Vodlix content search is where most viewing sessions begin once a catalogue grows. Browsing works for the first hundred titles; after that, viewers arrive with something in mind, whether a title, an actor or a mood, and they want to find it immediately. Search gets out of the way and gets them watching. For OTT operators, fast and accurate search is the difference between a viewer who plays something and one who closes the app.


Your Metadata Powers the Search Index

In Vodlix, search quality is metadata quality. Every title, synopsis, genre, tag and cast entry your team fills in joins the search index the moment the content is published, with no separate indexing step. Well described content is well found content. Because search reads directly from the catalogue, improving metadata under Metadata Management improves search results automatically. Your editorial work is what makes search accurate.

Results After a Few Characters

Vodlix search returns results after a few characters, because the whole catalogue is indexed and ready. A viewer who types part of a title, a name or a keyword sees matching results instantly, across films, series, episodes and live channels. A viewer who can find what they want keeps watching instead of giving up. Instant results are what make search feel like part of the viewing experience rather than an obstacle to it.

Consistent Search on Web, Mobile and TV

Vodlix search reads the same index across web, mobile and TV, so results are consistent wherever a viewer looks. A title that appears in search on a phone appears the same way on the television, with the same ranking and the same artwork. On TV, search is designed for remote control input with predictive results to minimise typing. Consistent search on every screen means viewers learn one behaviour that works everywhere.


Frequently Asked Questions

Have questions about taking advantage of this limited-time offer? Check out the FAQ for answers.

What does Vodlix content search look through?
Vodlix content search indexes every title, synopsis, genre, tag and cast entry in your catalogue, across films, series, episodes and live channels, so viewers can find content by any of those fields.
How fast are Vodlix search results?
Vodlix search returns results after a few characters, because the entire catalogue is indexed and ready, so viewers see matching titles instantly as they type on any device.
Do I need to index content separately for search?
No. Every metadata field your team fills in joins the Vodlix search index automatically the moment a title is published, with no separate indexing step.
Does Vodlix search work on TV and mobile apps?
Yes. Vodlix search reads the same index across web, mobile and TV, with predictive results on television to minimise remote control typing, so results are consistent everywhere.
How do I improve search results on Vodlix?
Fill in rich, accurate metadata under Vodlix Metadata Management. Search quality reflects metadata quality, so well described titles are well found titles across web, mobile and TV.
What can I do to improve search results on my platform?
Fill in your metadata properly. Complete synopses, accurate genres and useful tags are what the index reads, so a catalogue that has been described carefully is far easier to search than one where only the titles were filled in.
What do viewers see when a search returns nothing?
They are returned to your browsable catalogue rather than a dead end, so an unsuccessful query becomes a chance to discover something from your genre rails instead of a reason to leave.
